Get a tens machine and use it from the early stages - dunno if it makes a difference but it gives you something to play with so takes your mind off it. Look on internet as you can buy them cheaper than hiring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiesh Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 If you want a 2 seater get a 2 seater most modern cars have twin airbags which is a no no for baby seats but the good news is most modern cars also have the option of disabling the passenger air bag for this very reason!! Good Luck with the birth and the purchase of a new 'fun' car! Umbrella pushchairs should fit in a small boot....many are suitable from birth!

Shiesh Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I think they mean leather is best if you have youngsters in the car.....so easy to wipe the seats down...even if you ban all food and drink from the vehicle you'll still get baby sick everywhere from time to time!! Oh..the joys of parenthood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatalieSheff Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 ive seen the protector mats and plastic things u can get, think i may invest.... another reason i hate giving lifts as people make a mess of my car and let their kids get mud inside and sugar everywhere. at least if its my bambino ive only myself to blame. other people kids drive me mad, but i suppose its the parents that are to blame. the amount of timesfriends have let their kids bang my doors against walls when getting out! i could scream! dont buy a black car! i really am leaning towards a porsche.... i wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juicyb125 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have found that the most important thing for me in buying a car after being a mum is space in the boot - boring I know, but essential..... once you have put the pram in, you need to be able to fit some shopping bags as well.... and some cars just have absolutely NO space in the back. Good luck with your birth - hope it all goes well and your car purchase is a satisfying one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
